The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints builds temples all around the world where faithful members go to learn more of Jesus Christ and his plan, receive ordinances for themselves, and perform vicarious work for their deceased ancestors. These temples are beautifully constructed both inside and out. They are designed to direct our thoughts heavenward and seal families together for eternity. The redemptive work that is performed here is not to be found anywhere else on the earth. All people are invited to experience for themselves the grandeur and blessings of temple work by qualifying themselves to enter the House of the Lord. In the meantime, I'll be taking you through the A to Z of our temples.
COPENHAGEN DENMARK TEMPLE
Entrance to the Copenhagen Denmark Temple |
The Copenhagen Denmark Temple (dedicated May 2004) is in fact a complete renovation of the former Priorvej Chapel which once stood in its place (built in 1931). While it is rare for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to construct temples from existing structures, it has happened a few times. The gospel of Jesus Christ places high significance on saving that which is lost, as we will explore more with the Provo City Centre Temple later.
Unique in its appearance, it is unlike the more extravagant temples built anew in various other locations around the world and sits bisecting two general streets surrounded by other buildings.

Arlee, yes. There is also one in Manhattan New York that is on the corner of a shoplot. The Church is open to building smaller temples as well as the more spacious individual ones
